I've seen rougher go for more money.

Nice find, man.

I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

Man o man you got a POS I think you should just let me give you your money back and take that bike off your hands. LOL just just kidding, looks like you got a great deal wish I could find one of those deals once a month or so. What does the tank look like inside, I've been wanting to try the electric magnet trick with the salt water to clean a tank but haven't gotten the chance yet. Good Luck with the new project.

Good find. The only parts that I see missing are the LH Side Cover, Starter Motor cover and throttle grips. Proceed slowly and carefully when you try to turn the motor over - just hope that the cyclinder intakes have not been exposed to rain. You have a lot of work to do but it wil be rewarding. Pat
